During women’s hockey goalkeeper, Genny Ladiges’s ’12 first game as a Bulldog, upperclassman goaltender Jackee Snikeris ’11 lost her helmet and took a skate to the face. Snikeris broke her nose and the freshman Ladiges unexpectedly took to the net. Ladiges went on to play in goal for 15 games that season.
Now in her senior year, just as three years ago, Ladiges plays a crucial role on the team. She has played 14 out of 18 games this season, and she has a 0.888 save percentage and a 4.62 goals-against average.
“Genny has definitely grown as a person and an athlete over the past three-and-a-half years,” teammate Heather Grant ’12 said in an email to the News. “She has gone from a quiet, scrawny and somewhat intimidated young freshman to a more outspoken teammate, an awesome goalie and an integral member of our team.”
